Local coding model that stays on the machine
Recursive released Flint, a mixture-of-experts coding model with roughly 40 billion total parameters that activates only about 2.5 billion per token. It is under Apache 2.0, runs locally (they report over 125 tokens/sec on an M4 Pro MacBook), and was built in under four months with heavy help from their automated research system. Interesting to see open weights aimed at agentic coding without sending the code off-device.
